Ueno sensei's remarks:

一度行って好きになった場所に何度も行ったり、気に入った物をまた買ったりすることを日本語で「リピートする」と言い、「リピートする」人のことを「リピーター」と言います。
英語の「repeater」と、使い方が違うかもしれませんね。
あなたは何のリピーターですか。
お気に入りの場所や物について、ぜひ教えてください。

In Japanese, when you buy something you like many times or when you go to a place once and like it, and then start to go there again and again, we call this 「リピートする」. And the people who 「リピートする」, we call「リピーター」.
In English, the word Repeater is probably wrong, but are you a Repeater for anything?
Tell us about your favorite places and goods.
